BUFFING DEVICE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 8, 1914.

Application filed March 11, 1914. Serial No. 823,917.

To all whom it may comern Be it known that 1, MARK CANGEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, county of Kings, State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Buffing Devices, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a tool for bufiing, scouring or polishing articles, especially such as the concaved or convex surfaces of a heel.

The tool can be mounted on the end of a rotary shaft and it is provided with abrading material for buiiing Louis or any other shape of heels made either of leather or wood. A supply of the abrading material is housed in the cylinder ofthe tool and it can be drawn out when necessary. The material is spaced into a number of lengths, each length having a scored or perforated line along which the length of material can be easily severed.

The invention is more fully described in the following specification and claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a tool embodying this invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal central section of the same. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the cylinder, the felt and abrading material having been removed. Fig. 4 1s a transverse section taken along the line :1: a: of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a similar view taken along the line 3 y of the same. Fig. 6 is a rear elevation of a piece of abrading paper on a smaller scale.

In this drawing the letter a designates a cylinder one end of which is provided with a head from which projects a screw nipple b of suitablevconstruction for attachment to a collet a inserted on to the thread. The collet has a socket cl whereby it may be coupled to the rotary shaft of a lathe or other machine. The cylinder a has a longitudinal slot e extending from the open end of the cylinder to the head. Mounted on the exterior portion of the cylinder is a felt covering f having a slot 9 corresponding to the slot in the cylinder. A spring ring it is arranged to clamp the felt to thecylinder. This spring ring adjusts itself to the thickness of the felt and is held in place on the cylinder by a screw 2'. This felt will act as a cushion to enable the cylinder to run smoothly. The cylinder can be of any diameter to'fit a concaved or convexsurface.

A roll of abrading material j consisting of sand or emery paper is inserted in the cylinder a and one end 9" of this paper is drawn through the slots and wound around the cylinder. This end overlaps the slots and 1s fastened on the cylinder by means of a catch is swingingly mounted on the said screw 2.

The roll of emery paper has scored or perforated portions j serving as lines along which sections of the paper can be readily torn 011'. These perforated divisions cover a space to approximately fit about the circumference of the cylinder so that there will be no Waste of material.

The roll of abrading material is inserted in the open end of the cylinder and one end of the roll is drawn through the slots then wound around the cylinder as indicated in Fig. 5. The catch is then swung to the position shown in Fig. 1 to engage the end portions 7' of the paper thus holding it snugly to the surface of the cylinder. When it is desired to release the paper the catch is swung out of the way and the useless section of the paper can be torn ofl.

Sometimes it is desirable to substitute felt or other smooth material for the emery paper and employ the material to polish the surface of the heel after it-is smoothed 011:.

I claim:

1. In a bufiin tool the combination with a tubular slotte cylinder, a roll of abrading material disposed in the cylinder one end of the material being drawn through the slot to cover the surface of the cylinder, and a catch swingingly mounted on the head of the cylinder for fastening the material to the periphery of the cylinder.

2. In a bufiing tool the combination with a tubular slotted cylinder, a slotted cushion secured on the cylinder, a ring secured to the cylinder for clamping the cushion a roll of abrading material arranged in the cylinder one end of the material being drawn through the slots to cover the cushion, and a'catch movably mounted on the cylinder for fastening the material to the cylinder.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

MARK CANGEN. Witnesses:
